Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Annoying audio
Loads of content Doesn't live up to expectations
Intense action Repetitive gameplay
Innovative concepts Braindead computer AI
Far-what?

A good game is by all means a good game, just to be clear, but a good game is never any better if its a sequel without any ties to the related pre-quels. It's like playing Halo, except Master chief isnt there, the game seems to be a little suckier, and the story feels like its been told already before you've started the game.
Oh wait...(Halo ODST?)
Don't get me wrong, Far cry 2 had some good ideas, some good effects and some good gameplay; but the promises made were outrageously much better than what we had been given, i watched in awe as i saw a man take out a merc carrying a wounded merc, but when i tired copying what he did, all the mercs did was to jump a little, like there was someone behind them popping out, screaming "BOOGA BOOGA".
And the story had nothing to do with our man : Jack Carver, which made it more to me like "Cry 2" than "Far Cry".
The game was somewhat functional at the start and i believed that "Hey, at least its fun, right?", but then i quickly got to know that every fucking road had a small army base attached to it, with never-ending respawns of annoying soldiers i'd have to snipe from 20 miles away with a silencer and STILL be located after my first shot from behind the bushes with my extreme camo equipped and my shot so silenced i should have been able to shoot Owen Wilson without Ben Stiller noticing.
This made me realize the repetitive and boring A.I, and i stopped playing the game. I haven't beaten it yet, since i cared so little for the horrible voice acting and the stupid predictable story that was told to me like my drunken dad used to tell me stories of his nights out with hookers that were really transvestites.
So all in all : Buy it if you have money to waste.
